Hello,

there are still problems with my Radeon VE on SuSE 7.3 with 
Xfree86 4.2.0.

I managed to get the dri modules starting to load, at least I think so...

In my /var/log/XFree86.0.log I find the entry

(II) RADEON(0): Starting up Xvideo subsystems
(II) RADEON(0): membase=0xf0000000 memsize=0x04000000 agpSize=0x00000008
drmOpenDevice: minor is 0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
drmOpenDevice: minor is 0
drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device)
drmOpenDevice: Open failed
[drm] failed to load kernel module "radeon"

If I have a look at /dev/dri, the directory is empty. Upon searching
on the net I found that there should be a /dev/dri/card0 entry.

I created that entry with 

cd /dev/dri
mknod card0 c 226 1

I admit that I do not know whether the parameters are really correct.

A further ls -l showed that the entry was there. Then I restarted the
X server. Then again the /dev/dri directory was empty. I do not
understand why. 

Can anybody help me?

Best regards 

Armin
